Christine, I wish I had done things differently way back when.... my name is so hard to spell (correctly). Now that I have to do one more website this is so timely for me. I am wracking my brain to come up with the right URL. And of course I will be using you, because in my not so humble opinion, AgentWebsite is the best thing since sliced bread!!!!!

Christina, I did that when I first got the website. But I must have let them lapse! I have been thinking and searching, searching and thinking all evening for our new domain name. Oh what a headache. Just let me write all the stuff that is going on the site, but this type of stuff drives me nutz!

Andrea, I'm so looking forward to brainstorming domains with you. Short phrases are another creative avenue you can try with the easy to say, easy to spell, easy to remember guidelines. You live is such a beautiful, historic part of the country. Just thinking about the possibilities has me excited! I've got my thinking cap on and together, we'll come up with an awesome domain name:-)

Robin! So great to see you here! Sometimes hyphens work for people. It's great that you have other options if you decide to market yourself differently in the future. I like your domain. It's short, easy to spell and I've always been able to remember it. Hope all is well with you in San Antonio:-)

Jim - You won the domain name lottery! Easy to spell, easy to say, easy to remember. That totally rocks! So much so that I actually want to refer to you as, JimLee.com!

I totally agree with Christina on her guidance for choosing a good real estate domain name. I have been buying and selling domain names for 12 years or so and have put together a website for agents and brokers that sells real estate domain names. The site is constantly being updated with new names and currently has about 2000 names for sale.

Everything on the Internet begins with a name…Do you have a a name that says it all for your market?
